Schon Doorways has begun exporting to global markets, including Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Early shipments have already reached the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Malaysia. This initiative reiterates the brand's commitment to further emerging as a global player in sustainable building materials.
Ajay Balakrishna, Founder and CEO at Schon Doorways, said, "The need for aluminium fenestration solutions striking a perfect balance between design, durability, and sustainability is gaining momentum across markets. Our growth directly responds to that need, and we aim to position Indian engineering at the forefront of a worldwide movement towards sustainable and high-performance architecture."
This global expansion of the company also reiterates its 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives, which produce top-notch products in India while demonstrating Indigenous innovation globally. The company's initiative will bolster employment generation, particularly in automated, sustainable, and design-led manufacturing.
Schon Doorways, a manufacturer of premium aluminium doors and windows, expanded its domestic footprint to over 180+ cities, including Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Visakhapatnam, Pune, and others. With India evolving from an import-based to a manufacturing-based economy, the aluminium windows and doors segment is estimated to reach USD 1.45 billion by 2029.
The market size indicates significant demand for smart, sustainable, and design-based solutions. Schon Doorways' strategic expansion comes at a time when the Government of India has reiterated its vision to increase the share of manufacturing in GDP from 12% to 23% over the next two decades, and recorded a $29.79 billion FDI inflow into manufacturing in H1 FY2024–25, as per DPIIT.
Schon Doorways operates an 80,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant in Bangalore with a monthly production capacity of 25,000–30,000 sq. ft. of aluminium systems. As per international green norms, 30% of the aluminium utilised is recycled, and the products adhere to international certifications such as LEED, IGBC, GRIHA, and BREEAM. Schon Doorways has created proprietary in-house hardware for magnetic sealing and smart locking and has filed a patent for its corner slider system. The company has made significant technological investments, targeting 60% digitisation by 2027, through CNC automation, Iot-enabled operations, and AI-powered quality control.
